oh and for goodness sake don't listen to Iveco and wait 40k till the first service, that might work for a Powerstar 7800 , but change ALL the oils at say 5000km , then every 15 or 20k is fine for the engine. After the first change at 5k do the diffs and gearboxes every 50k. Syntrans in box, Syntrax in T/C.

Im going to replace the Transfer Case bushes with SuperPro poly shackle bushes from, dare I say, a Jeep , If iveco fix it under warranty with standard India Rubber the same thing will happen down the track. I'd rather do it so that it works .

all good.

I could give you the old Italian Tank Joke but your Iveco 4x4 has actually got 4 reverse gears

Im not suprised by Ridgelines attitude or the person you dealt with. Alot of people are not aware of the online communities and the information they share or what information is available to people in the interweb. Even my own wife is aloof to developments in her specialty that I read about online and can genuinely show disinterest if I mention it to her. It's crazy really. I found LR weren't much different.

We found the owners of this one having a good look at the wheels (in particular) on our OKA in NW WA last year.

He was quite happy with it though it was only a couple of thousand K's old at the time.

But the wheels we both agreed were all wrong. On this example they were from memory something crazy like 10 R 17.5's or something equally silly. Too small in diameter, too skinny and too unique to ever get a replacement anywhere but a major city.

Iveco do (did) offer a 255/100 R 16 option which IMO is a better diameter but perhaps a tad skinny depending what you want to do but horrendously expensive when it comes replacement time. Also a very unusual and dated (size/style) of tyre and at around $500+ from Michelin who is the only supplier. Though they are a very good tyre they are quite soft and have a limited life of around 60K k's when used on the OKA which is very similar in size to the Iveco Daily.

Here's both vehicles together.

The OKA has 305/70 R 19.5's and IMO has a much better 'stance'.

I reckon a better tyre for the Iveco would be something like 285 or even better 315/75 R16's which are more common. Hankook's in particular are pretty good value. Load rating is very important as most large 4WD tyres have a load rating of 121 (or less) and are not suitable for the OKA and presumably the Iveco either.

Hey Inc !

Does that mean that I can post in the LR section if I modify my OKA a bit.

There's an interesting page on wheels/tyres for the Iveco here:

Super Single wheels to suit Fuso Canter and Isuzu 4x4 Trucks

Hi Deano. How do you find the 305/70 R19.5's generally? I am running a 101 with a Cummins in it, and the Michelin 255/100 R16's Im running are often well above their max speed rating of 100kph. The 16" rims also don't afford enough room for large brake upgrades.. So I'm looking at finding some 19.5's and would be interested in your feedback. Cheers.
